Paul McCowen isnt actually that nice of a guy... I went to Sturgis for 4 years and everytime I went to buy something, he always had some smart alicky remark to say to me. And he constantly makes questionable remarks to people. He is not as nice as people make him out to be, TRUST ME.

Not worried about Solon. We share a mutual friend, a Greek on the Cape. Lol.. no kidding. Still good friends today, since 02'.

Is it true what they say about short women and...?

Best back off Solon crus...

He's ~Greek~ & you shud be... "Paranoid"!

And he paints...

Then again, maybe I got it wrong...

Pants?

Solon,

You were referring to my comment to peck with the strange alias, weren't you? I got plenty of things to be paranoid about.

5 foot assassin? You mean "all about me",Manso. The only literary ambulance chaser I know who carries a A15 assault rifle because he likes to. Must compensate. Days in court comin up, Nov 14 and in Dec, he will make a court appearance and here comes the drama and mayhem once again.
11/08/08 @ 7:23 pm
When you're 5 feet tall, you only have really one rapper that you can steal catch phrases from... and in my case, that's Phife Dog, the 5 Foot Assassin.
11/08/08 @ 6:59 pm
R U talkin' to me then?...

Jus' who you talkin' two?
11/08/08 @ 6:55 pm
Cru, my comment was exactly what it was and was not aimed at you. Can you spell P-A-R-A-N-O-I-A?

On the other hand, just because you may be paranoid doesn't mean people are not trying to kill you. Watch out for the five-foot assassin!
11/08/08 @ 6:41 pm
This isn't my first language or anything, but I think that one spells it "dIscrimination."
11/08/08 @ 6:06 pm
I'm the five foot assassin with the roughneck business.
11/08/08 @ 11:00 am
Obvious cru has no sense of humor or life other than commenting/blogging & is angry with most everyone except...

Nedski who has fun playing mind games with most all...

Buzz loves to take you know who to task & rightly so...

possee actually seems reasonably balanced more often than not...

monpo slashes & burns adriotly for giggles & 'Oh my's!'...

Solon thoughfully referees greekly...

christy - oh christ(y:~)! pictures of Christy...

peck pisses more than a few people off & thinks he's funny or not...

mav is -generally- thoughful except when it comes to CAPE WIND & people in general...

Julie rules the roost...

To boot.

Solon,

I love it....Neddy, bitter and I get trashed for hours on blogs and I make one comment to shut that peck up and you post right after me. thanks. Why not speak out to everyone, not just when it's obviously pointing the finger and singling us out? Preferential treatment for certain bloggers/posters is not dead I see.

Well, thanks for letting us know where we stand. And as far as your friend peck is concerned, the place was better without his disgusting rants.
11/08/08 @ 8:40 am
Please, please, please, all you wonderful (?) people. When will you cease the ad hominem attacks on one another?

As for this case, it was just another frivolous complaint that had no legal basis and attempted to defend what was clearly in violation of the law.

I believe some one--those responsible for the "barrage of press coverage"--should pay the owner plenty for harassment, loss of business, and diminishment of good will.

Apparently people feel they can accuse (J'accuse!), complain, sue, and harass with complete impunity. This nonsense is injurious to the innocent and takes up too much of our society's time.

11/08/08 @ 7:32 am
Peck you turd,

What goes around....when you least expect it, life has a way of even'ing scores. Ned is a great guy and a Super talented artist, kind hearted and loyal friend, unlike some of the backstabbing cold reptiles you got who only think about their own self absorbed fup world. I'm surprised Walter let you return. He's scraping the barrel bringing you back.
11/07/08 @ 10:55 pm
Monpo... I am ashamed.

Have you no home?
11/07/08 @ 10:53 pm
Na na na naaa naaa...

Neddies got no nads & neither do you!...

Cru!
11/07/08 @ 7:40 pm
Mav,

Think she felt singled out since others were also eating in store.

You guys, lay off Neddy or I'll have to come down there and smack you upside the head.

Interesting letter in the Patriot today from a person who writes in often with mostly negative comments about the town and its' councilors. This letter calls for a councilor to apologize and quit b/c he/she allegedly has been harassing a resident of Cotuit via email. I wonder if this particular letter writer will call for Councilor Milne to apologize and quit for his treatment, in person, of staff members at the transfer station. Lets see if there is a double standard.

I'm not impressed with Bank of America. In any event, has anyone checked to see if it is that legal for them to charge for a check that is drawn on their bank?
I can see tons of people taking their business to a "local" bank ........

don't hold your breath, some people are immune from negative press and some get it whether they deserve it or not.

Gadfly, Is it true that Mr. Milne has been banned from political activity at the Yarmouth dump?

eddiet1971 your comment is naive. You honesty believe that the media reports on everything and everyone equally, especially our local media? The arrest log can be requested by anyone since it is public information as well as the reports related to the 3 incidents at the transfer station. Reporters and Editors from both local newspapers have been aware of these incidents for quite a while, but chose not to investigate and report on them. Ask them why they have not followed through on these things. Do the leg work yourself if you think it is a "bunch of bull".

This is interesting, but if it was really true then we would be reading about it in the print media.
Come on, please.
This is just a bunch of bull.

I'd like to know what Mr. Milne does for a living? I ask because many times it indicates whether a politician can really understand the daily challenges facing his/her constituents. Has he worked hard in a "team environment" to earn a pay check. Please do a follow up on this aspect of Mr. Milne's resume.

Why is there a recall effort against one councilor who didn't commit a crime or do anything close to illegal and this councilor is abusing town employees and his own damn MOTHER and not only is no one talking about a recall, he is serving two elected positions and running for a third?????

What is wrong with Barnstable?

Why is a crazy group of local bloggers all over the town government and supporting people like Milne?

Why don't the local papers cover these things in truth? Why do some papers seem to cover this stuff up?

Perhaps it is the media that corrupts...

Remember one thing..
The law is only applicable to those who don't make them or enforce them..here, there, and everywhere..
schools, judicial, govt, and business.

(not the military)

it's about time someone got this out to the public. He is a phony, with half a brain you can tell this about him. I also believe he sealed his record. Hopefully the print press will pick up on this. they wrote about rep.atlis with his bogus parking issue that pales when compared to this. It was shortly after the times,patriot and herold did stories, you would think they would go after Milne!!
